I Know It's Over Lyrics

Artist: Jeff Buckley
Album: Mystery White Boy

(Morrissey/J.Marr)Originally performed by The Smiths. Jeff performed it several times, usually in medley with Hallelujah or with Kangaroo.Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my headAnd as I climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough saidI know it's over still I cling, I don't know where else I can goOver and over.....Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my headSee the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit (cut) meDo you think you can help meSad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her roomLoud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs youMore than she loves you - and I know it's over - still I clingI don't know where else I can go - over and over.....I know it's over and it never really began but in my heart it was so realAnd she even spoke to me and said"If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?""And if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?""And if you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?""And if you're so very good looking, then why do you sleep alone tonight?"I know - 'cos tonight is just like any other night - that's why you're onyour own tonightWith your triumphs and your charms - while they're in each other's armsIt's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate it takes strength to be gentleand kind - over and over....It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate it takes guts to be gentle andkind - over and over....Love is natural and real - but not for you my love not tonight my loveLove is natural and real - but not for such as you and I my loveOh mother... etc.
